to the guy that said they have let him down, THEN I HOPE YOU DONT GO TO THE NYE show and you sit your a$$ @ home...

cmon guys. why all the let downs. are you kidding.
they have so much talent. all the songs are fantastic.just dance and have a good time, dont whine and complain.save it.

I must agree I have seen many STS9 shows all along the east coast and their sound over the past 2 years has metamorphosized into a tighter functioning unit, rather than extended noodling (Yawn....) Unfortunately the tighter sound does lead to some redundancy from show to show. This is the case for this asheville show. There are better versions of these songs out there and much better sounding shows as well. That being said, it should not take away from the outstanding performance they always put out at the O.Peel. I am glad that they have minorly altered their sound. Hopefully this is not the peak of their change and they will continue to grow like I have witnessed over the past 5 years like no other band except for perhaps Umphrey's McGee.

HA... "now they are all about making sure everything is precise" CURSE THEM FOR TRYING TO BE PERFECT!

Please NOTE: "limit your comments to issues pertaining to the show and sound quality" not "why dont they play the same songs from 2000 anymore!?"

sts9 is absolutely killing it these days. their improv is still there and then some, it's just not noodly junk you'll hear elsewhere.

guess what... THEY ARE NOT A JAMBAND. HA.

deal with it!

this show is great, get it! also, nashville 4/20 was absolutely insane. dont know if it's up on archive but you can get the SBD from sts9music.com

ok this was my first sts9 show but the one from the 2nd night at the Orange Peel was much better..I was blown away as it was my first show but was even more impressed the next night....but the show at Visulite blew em both out of the water

Good show.
Worth the download.

The band may not improvise that much any more, however their songs are in constant evolution. If you listen to "GLOgli", "Rilly Wut?", or "F Word" from 2 years ago you will notice the change. The songs that STS9 bring to the table are groundbreaking and original. If you're a fan of music and you are looking for improv/jams go see a jam band (excuse the term), Tribe is focused, tight, and on the cutting edge.

Thanks for this recording.

no. sts9 has let me down. the band never improvs anymore and the songs never change.
Sector 9 has changed recently as the band used to work with eachother to groove now they are all about making sure everything is precise.
no jamming or spontaneity

excellent setlist .... this show featured a nice mix of old and new songs. check out 'aimlessly' to get a taste of the best of their new stuff.
